It was the first time of the year where I broke out the waders.
Here was the catch from Walnut Creek which took me 2 hours to catch my limit of 15. Used a small hook and split shot with the gusty winds.
There was one lone redear, probably 7 or 8 inches but didn't care for the worm. All of the gills that were caught were between 7 - 9 inches.
I stopped by Shadow Lake this afternoon, wading there was difficult as I am not used to the area. One spot on the west side of the lake proved dangerous as I stepped into some mud and felt my self slip 2 or 3 feet in, it took a lot of wiggling and pulling to get my leg out of the mud and the boot from being wedge between some rocks. After that ordeal, i packed up and moved to the east side of the lake where there is a lot of that moss around, but I found an area that was protected from the wind by the moss and an open area for me to cast into. That is where I landed 12 good size bluegills ranging from 8 - 10 inches, added that to the 3 I caught from the other side got me my limit. Though it took longer as every 3rd or 4th gill I had to re-rig the rod because they swallowed the hook to the point where needlenose pliers didn't work.
Females at Shadow Lake still had some eggs.
